Marc Vedo is the global representative of the UK's leading dance party brand – Slinky, and was once dubbed by Mixmag as ‘the next Sasha’ for his impeccable mixing technique and pin-up like image. Having taken the clubbing world by storm, Marc has headlined many of the worlds leading events including Glastonbury (150,000 capacity) and Global Gathering (30,000 capacity), performing alongside heavyweights Carl Cox, The Chemical Brothers and Tiesto. Also a star in the studio, his productions have been signed to labels Hed Kandi and Nukleuz, and supported by Deep Dish and Pete Tong.

K90 Famed for his enthusiastic DJ and more notably 'live' shows K90 has performed at many of the worlds premier dance events including 'Godskitchen - Global Gathering', 'Creamfields', 'Tidy Weekender' series (UK), 'Dance Valley' and 'Q-Base International Dance Festival' (The Netherlands), the long running 'Advent*jah' Festival (Australia) to name but a few.

Bring it all on and lets keep it goin and then go some more!!! Rob Savage, One half of the Groove Diggerz, record label boss x 2, club promoter and all round musical businessman is on a roll.

Grin... I almost deleted the one of me... hahahahahahaha

Looked like everyone had a great night and pictures speak for themselves!

Special thanks to all that helped with all aspects of promotion including: Jono and the ZM crew, Sam and his crew (Shadow Systems), Mike (Tin Tin), Chris (Crisis), Diego Mejier (Future Resonance) Jamey and the Phantom Massive, Jagg, Obscure and Biggie.

Production crews from Red Accustics and A&C Lighting, great job done with the main room of the Civic.
Aidan at Cosmic Corner, guys at Hunters and Collectors and Real Groovy.

Obviously all local and international DJs who put their hearts into their sets, there were many highlights of the night but if I was to pick two sets then I would say K90 who delivered his usual ripper and Tin Tin with The Sheriff caught my attention at the end (maybe because I was very relaxed by that time, wicked end to the night playing some chunky, groovy tunes!

Michelle & myself - awesome pix - thanks!

See you all at the next GigaBite gig.

Seb @ GigaBite Entertainment

…and Massive shout out to our sponsors without whom it would not be possible to bring it all together, cheers Good Water, Demon and Kaos Energy, Fudge, New Balance and Silent Communications.

Grin... Not that I'm impatient or anything...
But pray tell when might that be???

Actually i think my most memorable moment of the night was two chickies in the bathroom....
Going on and on about the dj who was playing at the time.....
The question put to me: OMG!!! Who is that guy playing at the moment!!! He is soooooooooo frickin hot!!!!!!

My answer will my eyes rolling into the back of my head..
OH Thats only MARC VEDO

I had an awesome night didnt feel to fantastic the next day but was well worth it.
